Release Notes:
Anyone who has seen a Perpetrators live show knows
the local trio isn't strictly a blues band. Oh
sure, they can bash those familiar 12 bars into the
ground, but they can also duke it out with the best
rock bands around.
They take the roller-coaster frenzy of their live
show and channel in into their third album, kicking
things off with a surf-rock instrumental and ending
with a frantic jam. In between, vocalist-guitarist
Jason Nowicki, bassist Ryan Menard and drummer
Chris Bauer dabble in country-blues (Honeypie),
fuzzed-out garage (You're Gonna Kill Me),
avant-psychedelia (Toe Stub), back-porch country
(Josco) and even some distorted boogie-woogie
(Happy Friday).
Their experimentaion with sounds and genres doesn't
mean the end of the kind of music for which they
are best known. Blues remains the foundation of
much of the material, especially on tracks like I
Can't See, Baltimore, Movin' Right Along and Call
Me.
Tow Truck finds the Juno-nominated group moving
from blues-rockers to blues-adventurers, which
ain't no crime at all. See for yourself tonight and
tomorrow when they release the album at Times
Change(d).
